Today marks another year of Nigeria’s independence—Over the past decade, Nigeria has evolved from having a nascent tech industry to becoming Africa’s largest tech hub. Cities like Lagos, fondly referred to as the “Silicon Valley of Africa,” have seen the rise of groundbreaking startups like Flutterwave, Paystack, and Andela—ventures that have not only put Nigeria on the global tech map but also attracted substantial foreign investments. According to the Global Startup Ecosystem Report, Lagos ranks among the top startup hubs in Africa, with over 400 tech startups valued at more than $2 billion. This growth is driven by a young, innovative population and increased internet access. As we mark Nigeria’s Independence Day, we honor the tech community that has put Nigeria on the global map. Here’s to a future of even greater innovation! What tech or IT growth are you most grateful for in Nigeria?
